Days 12 and 13 of 31 Days: Making apple crisp

Making apple crisp

One of the ways that we have tried to get Connor, my picky eater, to try new foods or eat healthier, is cook with him. He loves to help, but it is kind of hit or miss as to whether he will eat whatever we make. My desire to bake kicks up in the fall so when we had a surprise day off this week and a big bag of apples, we decided to make apple crisp! When I was on maternity leave, Connor and I would try and squeeze in different projects when Amelia would nap. Now that she sometimes will nap for an hour or more, it is great time for Connor and I to do things like this.

This is my grandmother’s apple crisp recipe. For me, all other variations are not quite right. Some foods I am happy to try different versions. Not apple crisp! My grandmother’s recipe card makes one square (is it 8 by 8) baking dish. I never make a single batch so I decided to just double the recipe when I posted it – to save you the math!
